###Week 1 (25th May - 31st May)

1. What do I have completed this week?'

During the community bonding period:

  • Setup and studied existing programs consuming and producing GTFS-Realtime data
  • Created html mock-ups for the UIs for the validator.

Week 1:

  • Setup the wiki page
  • Created jetty JSP application containing the html files.

2. What am I going to achieve for next week?

  • Create background task to download the GTFS files
  • Reading and identifying the type of GTFS-Realtime feed
  • Finalizing UI designs

3. Is there any blocking issue?

  • I will have to figure out the best way to run a background task for the next weeks work

###Week 2 (1st June - 7th June)

1) What do I have completed this week?

  • Posting the UI designs on the OTP and GTFS-RT mailing lists
  • Re-write of the Jetty application simplifying the code.
  • Added servlets to manage requests
  • Added prototype HTML pages as static pages
  • Reading and identifying the type of GTFS-Realtime feed (Demo: https://youtu.be/6_gcMlQ9BQA)
  • Created task to download the GTFS files to system.

2) What am I going to achieve for next week?

  • Cleanup of JavaScript for checking the URL
  • Figure out ways of identifying different feeds correctly. (What happens if a feed is empty?)
  • Creating a simple background task with progress indication for downloading the GTFS feed
  • Background task monitoring the GTFS feeds. (Proof of concept implementation that takes a simple input such as vehicle count over a period of time)

3) Is there any blocking issue?

  • No

###Week 3 (8th June - 14th June) 1) What do I have completed this week?

  • Implemented a simple background task monitoring the GTFS feeds.
  • Currently this runs the same code that was used in the OneBusAway Munin plugin.
  • Saves the received data to an SQLite database which can be accessed via a servlet for monitoring
  • Cleaned up some of the JavaScript
  • Some re-factoring (package name change, copyright changes etc)

2) What am I going to achieve for next week?

  • Figure out ways of identifying different feeds correctly. (What happens if a feed is empty?) (From last week. Need to complete)
  • Connection of the monitoring and feed validation parts. (Currently monitoring section of the application uses hard coded URLs)
  • Write unit tests for some simple condition (eg - TimeStamp format)
  • Refining the current method used to run a background process monitoring the feeds.
  • Need to discuss the suitability of the current method for running the background task with mentors.

3) Is there any blocking issue?

  • Final week of the semester kept me busy and caused me to lose some working hours GSoC. Will be catching up on next week.

###Week 4 (15th June - 21st June) 1) What do I have completed this week?

  • What do I have completed this week?
  • Changed the feed identification to a generalized form (No longer checks for a feed type)
  • Allowed adding variable amount of real-time feeds (No longer restricted to three)
  • The feed URLs are now passed on to the monitor page
  • Various javascript fixes for validating the URLs provided
  • Discussed the background task and changed to a singleton implementation (This will be extended to be able to monitor multiple feeds simultaneously next week)

2) What am I going to achieve for next week?

3) Is there any blocking issue?

  • No

###Week 5 (22nd June - 28th June) 1) What do I have completed this week?

  • Each real-time feed is now monitor in a separate thread. This thread is unique for a URL.
  • Saves values gathered in to a SQLite database.
  • Completed the basic flow of gathering GTFS data and monitoring GTFS-RT feeds (The basic architecture is completed in order to start monitoring the feeds)

2) What am I going to achieve for next week?

  • Discussing with mentors and setting a set of test cases to develop against in the coming weeks.
  • Start working on the first Test Case(s)
  • Finding more rules that should be checked against (wiki - validation rules)

3) Is there any blocking issue?

  • University exams will be held on the coming two weeks. (But, since we only have about 2 exams per week I should be able to catch up any missed work on the weekends.)

###Week 6 (29th June - 5th June) 1) What do I have completed this week?

  • Created a Readme file with instructions for setting up the application
  • Fixing the bugs that was preventing the application to run on a new install.
  • Discussing about setting test cases to develop against in the coming weeks.
  • Started working on writing the test cases

2) What am I going to achieve for next week?

  • Expanding the rule set in the wiki page
  • Start working on a cleaner API to access the monitored data
